On this day, Mi's aunt and nephew all returned to their parents' home. Jiang Yabi, the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Jibei, the tenth son, has been in the army. His wife and children previously returned to Beijing with the Marquis of Jibei and his wife, and now they are all staying at their parents' home to attend to their illness. Originally, there were only a few people in Jibeihou's group, so it would look particularly deserted.
When we walked near the main hall, the laughter between Jiang Tianhe and his daughter and the Marquis of Jibei added a bit of festive atmosphere.
"Why are Nineteen here today?" Hearing that Jiang Yashuang was coming, everyone in the hall was slightly surprised and called him in. The Marquis of Jibei joked, "I heard that because your wife is pregnant, you don't have time to do official business. Now, you are hurriedly recruiting people to work for you... Do you have time to come see us now?"
Xin Fubing was leaning in Mrs. Ou's arms. She stuck out her tongue when she heard the words and said naughtily: "I guess the 19th cousin smelled the delicious food in grandma's small kitchen and came here to see if it was to the 19th cousin's taste. of!"
When she said this, everyone laughed, Jiang Yashuang also smiled and said: "Thank you cousin for reminding me, I really want to ask my little aunt for some fresh food to take away later!"
"You little heartless one!" Mrs. Ou pretended to hit Xin Fubing, "I told you that you were teasing Nineteen, and you turned your arms outward to give him a hint in secret?"
"It's unfair!" Xin Fubing said aggrievedly, "Nineteenth cousin is so cunning! I just teased you, but you immediately tricked me!"
"Okay, who in our family doesn't know that Nineteen is very concerned about his wife! Something must have happened to him coming here!" Jiang Tianhe guessed about Jiang Yashuang's intention, smiled proudly in his heart, and hurriedly handed over the ladder. "It's impossible that you really came here for your mother's small kitchen, right?"
Jiang Yashuang exchanged tacit glances with her and said, "Fifth aunt is right! I have something I want to ask my uncle and aunt to help me with."
"Oh?" The Marquis of Jibei realized that what he was about to say might be a disappointing thing, and frowned slightly. However, after all, Jiang Yashuang was the most outstanding grandson of the Jiang family. After thinking about it, the Marquis of Jibei decided to give him some face. He said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Jiang Yashuang looked to the left and right.
Mrs. Ou patted Xin Fubing, who stood up without saying a word and led the servants out.
When Jiang Tianhe saw this, he pretended to resign - but was stopped by Jiang Yashuang: "I need to ask my fifth aunt for advice later!"
"Can we talk now?" Jibei Hou looked at his daughter suspiciously and said.
"Su He, one of Ning Yi's dowry maids, has a somewhat different identity from the other maids." Jiang Yashuang's words made the Marquis of Jibei and his wife feel as if they were in five clouds - with their identities, they care about Qiu Yilan That's good. How could I remember Qiu Yilan's maid
"When Qiu Mengmin and his biological mother Lu were there, they treated Ning Yi and her daughter very badly. After my mother-in-law passed away, all the servants were dismissed, and Ning Yi was almost killed several times! And from the beginning to the end, Su He Both his grandmother and mother Zhou are loyal to her, so Ning Yi promised them a good future!"
When Jiang Yashuang said this, Jibei Hou and his wife felt that they seemed to understand a little bit, and asked tentatively: "But this Su He has a crush on someone in our house? Just say so!"
The old couple was in a good mood, and the occasion brought a marriage...
Before she could finish thinking, Jiang Yashuang shook her head: "Originally, Ning Yi wanted to find someone for Su He and the others last year, but she really wanted to choose a good family for her, so she couldn't make a decision. Now that she is pregnant, mother They were afraid that she would have to worry about it, so they said they would wait until she gave birth and then discuss it... So Su He was definitely not left to the grandnephew. The sixth aunt said that in front of the fourth aunt, but now it has made the grandnephew and Ning Yi very embarrassed! "
"So my grandnephew wants to come and ask my uncle and aunt to explain it to our sixth aunt..."
Speaking of this, he showed a wry smile, "This maid Ning Yi is very easy to use, and my grandnephew has never had any thoughts about her! I originally thought that after Ning Yi gave birth, I would marry her into a good family, but this With such a rumor, I don’t know if others will doubt her in the future?”
Looking at Jiang Tianhe, "It seems that Fifth Aunt also knows about this?"
The Marquis of Jibei and his wife frowned and looked at their daughter together: "What's going on?"
How could Jiang Tianhe let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury? She curled her lips and said: "Isn't this the New Year's Eve banquet? I just praised my nineteen-year-old daughter-in-law a few times in front of the fourth sister, and the sixth sister-in-law was not happy! She said angrily that if the nineteen-year-old daughter-in-law is virtuous, she can keep the eighteen-nineteenth daughter-in-law. Is it because the maid who is 19 years old is not allowed to have sex? But the news of her pregnancy didn't come out just before New Year's Eve. Why didn't she officially take her in? At that time, the fourth sister told her not to make random arrangements. …”
"It's ridiculous!" Mrs. Ou originally had a strong opinion of Mi because of her daughter's provocation these days. Now that her grandnephew came to complain and her daughter personally testified, she felt even more shameless and couldn't help but get angry, " That is the dowry of the Nineteenth Daughter-in-law. How can we arrange anything about it? Not to mention that the maid is a loyal servant who accompanies the Nineteenth Daughter-in-law through all kinds of hardships. Even the Nineteenth Daughter-in-law has nothing to say about the maid in front of her. What, it’s her turn to point fingers?”
The Marquis of Jibei coughed dryly: "The sixth daughter-in-law is not here now. When she comes back, go and tell her - let's talk about the dowry of the nineteenth daughter-in-law first!"
He asked, "How is the maid doing now? How do you plan to arrange it?"
Jiang Yashuang sighed: "Her grandmother Zhou's mother suggested getting married immediately to avoid misunderstandings! However, Ning Yi was reluctant. She didn't choose a good family before she came. In her haste, she was afraid of ruining Su He's life. Secondly, Ning Yi was reluctant to marry her. Aunt Six just said that, and Ning Yi dismissed her immediately, which could easily cause rumors. "
After a pause, "If the grandnephew ordinarily doesn't want to spoil my uncle and aunt's interest at this time of the year, but Ning Yi is pregnant and has always doted on Su He, then after hearing this, he will feel a little..."
"You have to advise that child to be more open-minded! Don't let the fetal gas come out!" Jiang Tianhe immediately applied the knife and said solemnly, "This is her first pregnancy, so she can't be careless!"
After what she said, the Marquis of Jibei and his wife had no choice but to worry about Qiu Yilan's pregnancy - they even complained to Mi in their hearts. What are you doing with your sister-in-law, dragging your pregnant niece-in-law in? Can Jiang Yashuang's child be ignored
Apart from other things, given Mrs. Zhuang's temper, she can definitely do the accounting every few years and decades! Isn't this inviting disaster to the Marquis Mansion of Jibei
So when Jiang Yashuang left the Marquis Mansion in Jibei, not only did she get a promise from her uncle and aunt that she would give them an explanation, but she was also forced to stuff a bunch of things, saying it was to calm Qiu Yilan's shock.
However, neither Jiang Yashuang nor Qiu Yilan was very interested in this "surprise fee", so they just looked at it casually.
"I wonder why Aunt Six, although she is not known to be a smart person, could be so unwise this time. Is it possible that Aunt Five is really angry?" Qiu Yilan took off a few of her husband's pieces on the chessboard and gave them to her in a fair and just way. He asked as if nothing had happened while making a way for his own chess to survive.
There is a huge gap between the couple's chess skills, and Jiang Yashuang didn't want his wife to bother, so he just reached over and pinched her cheek as punishment for her rogue behavior: "Who knows? But dragging you into the water is not the right thing to do. ... I also told the fifth aunt that she should strangle with the sixth aunt as much as she wants from now on, but don’t mention you again!”
... The scene of Jiang Yashuang and his wife playing chess leisurely, Mi Mansion.
The old lady of the Mi family was furious: "You are really out of your mind! Why are you talking to your sister-in-law about the Fourth Fang? Especially Jiang Jiu, who doesn't know that he is the favorite of Duke Qin? What about Ningyi County? The Lord is his sweetheart again - now, Princess Ning Yi is already close to Xin Fubing, but you just push Jiang Jiujiu to your sister-in-law, do you think you are confused?"
Although Mrs. Ou is the first mistress of the Jibei Hou Mansion, Mi has been in charge of the backyard of the Hou Mansion for so many years. Even in Guining, Jiang Yashuang would not come to complain, and not even one person would come to report the news. No.
Now that I heard a close friend tell me everything about Jiang Yashuang's visit and Jiang Tianhe's embarrassment, how could the Mi family, who was originally in harmony with Lele, still have the time to celebrate the festival? An urgent family meeting should be held immediately to discuss how to deal with this crisis
Mi felt aggrieved after being reprimanded by the old lady of the Mi family: "Since Jiang Tianhe returned to Beijing, he has always been against his daughter without saying a word, and has implicated Yin Yin several times! Especially after Princess Ningyi became pregnant, she came to her door almost every day. I have told my mother-in-law about children and heirs more than a dozen times - I never thought that families like ours have a tacit understanding. The first wife has been childless for three years before she is allowed to serve as a concubine. Now, it has not been three years since Yin Yin came to the house, she urged What a rush! She also has a daughter, and I want to see if her daughter will get pregnant right after she becomes the queen!"
Mi Yinyin's mother, Mrs. Chu, has always had a good relationship with her eldest sister-in-law. Mi's love for Mi Yinyin was also due to Mrs. Chu. At this moment, she hurriedly said: "Mother, you don't know what kind of person my sister is? She is the most knowledgeable and sensible person. The reason why he said such an excuse was because he was obviously very angry!”
"Okay, let's not talk about this now!" The old lady of the Mi family also knew that it was meaningless to blame Mi for speaking carelessly. What mattered was how to deal with the aftermath? Then he waved his hand and said, "Just tell me what you and Yinyin are going to say when you return to the Marquis Mansion today. If it's just your sister-in-law who instigated it, I believe you can deal with it! But Jiang Jiujiu went there in person, I'm afraid Even your father-in-law has to ask questions!"
Mi said angrily: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law always love their biological daughter more! Now there is another nineteen helping Jiang Tianhe. When my daughter goes back, I can't explain it at all. How can I explain it? Just do what you love!" Anyway, my daughter gave birth to two sons for the Jiang family. I don’t believe they divorced her for such a small thing!”
"How long have you been talking angrily?" The old lady of the Mi family was displeased, "Yes, you are the only daughter-in-law in the Jibei Marquis Mansion, and you have given birth to a son. There is no way they will divorce you or take away your power! But don’t forget that the most troublesome person in this matter is not your parents-in-law... but Jiang Jiujiu! "
"Don't blame me for telling the truth: Yabi and Yalan are mediocre in talent. Your grandchildren are still young and can't tell clearly yet! Even if there are capable people among them, will it be easy to rise to the top without the support of their parents? In the future, Jibei The young people in the Hou Mansion must look to the Duke of Qin, especially Sifang Jiang Jiu, who will be in charge of the Zhenbei Army in the future - if you hate him, you will not give your descendants little shoes to wear in the future, and just refuse to cultivate them. What a troublesome thing!" The old lady of the Mi family sighed, "So why bother with them for such a trivial matter? If our Mi family hadn't been married to the Jiang family, how could we be as prosperous as we are today?"
He glanced at his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chu, and thought to herself: "How else could the Mi family marry their eldest daughter? Especially the biological sister of the Princess of Puyang!"
Mi choked up and said: "Mother said this to ask her daughter to apologize to the Nineteenth couple? Why is my daughter their aunt? This -" Isn't it too frustrating
You must know that the Marquis of Jibei is Jiang Tianzhen's son. In the early years, he and Mrs. Ou were not in the capital. After Mi's marriage, there was no mother-in-law to take care of her, and no sisters-in-law to compete with each other. The only sister-in-law, Jiang Tianhe, left the pavilion after only two days of getting along. Can you imagine how happy Mi's life has been in the Hou Mansion over the years
As a result, two years ago, the Marquis of Jibei and his wife retired and returned to Beijing to take care of themselves, and their mother-in-law began to watch over them. Not long ago, Jiang Tianhe returned to Beijing, and his sister-in-law tried hard to instigate it... This gap is really terrible!
The old lady of the Mi family also knew that her daughter had lived a good life for too long, and she suddenly wanted her to be a daughter-in-law from scratch. It was difficult to change her mentality, so she softened her tone: "Of course I'm not asking you to go in person, but it's okay to send someone by your side to explain, right? It was Jiang Tianhe who brought up this topic, so how can it be entirely your fault?"
The old lady of the Mi family coaxed and persuaded the Chu family, and finally the Mi family reluctantly agreed to go back home and deal with her parents-in-law. Then she sent someone to explain to Jiang Shijiu and his wife and try to resolve the hatred.
... As a result, in the evening, Mi held back her anger and led Mi Yin Yin back to the Marquis Mansion in Jibei. As usual, they went to greet Mrs. Ou together, but Mrs. Ou's confidant, Mother Luo, guarded the door with an expressionless face: "Old Madam is tired. Now, I want you and the young lady to go back and deal with things in the house first."
"What's going on in the room?" The aunt and nephew suddenly felt something bad in their minds, "What's going on in the room?"
"The old lady felt that the prince's family was not interested in having any heirs, so she each rewarded some people to the Sixth Master and the Thirteenth Young Master." Mother Luo's words made them feel like they were struck by lightning, "The people have been sent there, how do you arrange it for me, Madam Let the young lady figure it out. The old lady is busy picking people today but she is tired. You two can come back tomorrow to express your gratitude!"
Mi Shi and Mi Yinyin turned pale and looked at each other!
